[FARReps] Test bench at FAR Fest

[w3qx at qsl.net]

Chip Weems w4pbg sent me a reminder that the Historical Electronics 
Museum Amateur Radio Club will have test facilities at FAR Fest this 
year.  Besides source and measurement equipment, tools, and extremely 
knowledgeable people, they'll have Rohde & Schwarz test gear.  Even 
if you dont want test results for your gear that are traceable b ack 
to international standards, it's worth a trip to Gaithersburg just to 
see the Rohde & Schwarz lab gear.  -WH



Please inform your membership that this service will be available at FAR Fest:
